Sorry…still new to the game here…I’m having issues with my KVM switch (sometimes FOG does NOT see
a keyboard and then it gets stuck in a loop. some of the admins here suggested that I try to get an
lspci output for the keyboard while plugged directly into the pc and then another directly after the kvm
keyboard is plugged in…so maybe they can see then the hardware, and then perhaps adding a driver,
to accomodate the kvm switch.

They told me eXactly what you said…but I’m on the client side doing this…so that’s probably my problem…
Thanks.

Would there be a way or something to be able to drop down to a terminal, so one
could run linux commands?

Maybe as part of the main menu screen an option a start terminal option?

Thanks…this is the best clone solution that has the best support!!

Sorry George, been squirreled in other projects…are these instructions for the server console or from the client? I’ve looked at the client side and don’t see the debug box?? I’m a little familiar with Linux, but I don’t see a place to drop down to a terminal to get the results for lspci. Could “open terminal” be put into the FOG main deploy menu…

Anything else I can try? Thanks!!

KVM information

IOgear
Model. GCS24U
4 port USB cable kvm switch
S/N: Z3E2-096B0-0232

I’d like to type in the hostname of the PC, the username, join it to a domain, and I have a snapin that I need also. So these are all prompts, I’m still about as green as it gets on FOG. If there’s an easier way please elaborate. I’d love to get this behind me.

Thanks…

NOTE I don’t know if this matters, but these are new PCs that are going to be installed soon, they are not in service at this time. All are on my desk…

I have some brand new Dell Optiplex 3070s, (minis) and I’d like to use my KVM
switch so I can at least do 4 at a time. (I have 200 to do! Yikes) But it will NOT recognize the keyboard through
the KVM switch, so now I’m unplugging/replugging the keyboard/mouse from PC to PC.

Is there some kind of “magic” that needs to be setup in FOG to recognize a KVM switch?
(it could be my kvm switch its an old IOGear 4 port?)

I did try searching before posting but I didn’t find anything that matched my issue…

Thanks in advance, excited about FOG!!
